Very comfy room, but if you struggle with steps try to ask for the lowest room possible, as what happened when I finally got to the reception desk from the long staircase. The lady on reception could see I struggled and offered me room 100, but there's still more stairs to tackle, no lift Great location in the City centre, which is very handy.
